Tackley Weather

Tackley Weather Station

This data is generated using a Maplin Wireless WH1080-compatible weatherstation. The weatherstation's external sensors transmit data on 433 MHz and I'm using a Raspberry Pi3 with an RTL-SDR dongle and the rtl_433 software to collect the data and publish on my internal MQTT service. From there it is augmented and pushed into a MariaDB database running on our webserver. Some custom software (mmwws) takes the data from the database and creates the JavaScript tables and charts displayed here.

Aside: Originally, I used pywws and the Dragontail weather website software to collect data directly from the Weatherstation's USB port on its internal display/sensor unit. However, over time the USB port failed and the internal sensors stopped working, so instead I switched to directly collecting data over wireless. Meanwhile it seems Dragontail has shut down, though pywws is still working.
